I was a bit disappointed in this recipe (as is). I ended up leaving it in my oven for longer since the tooth pick wasn't coming out clean. Then I used vanilla extra instead of flavor and the cream cheese topping tasted off. The cake part didn't seem moist at all. I think it needed some extra apple (I didn't see motherbear's) post to help moisten it up. I might try a cream cheese glaze instead of making the toppping.

Took this to a church function. Dee-licious! Wanted to try out this "muffin mix" bar recipe. Chages made: Instead of pumpkin I grated a large peeled Granny Smith apple into it and doubled the frosting. Was a hit!
